wanting replacement protein

jogym · 13-Mar-04, 07:37 AM

Has anyone ever visited a site called Ellefitness a health and fitness shop for her. It's from the UK and costs less than £5 for delivery compared to some other sports nutrition sites that charge a flat rate of £9.99 whatever you order. I am needing to get some more protein and have been using EAS Simply Protein in strawberry. Don't particularly like it. I want to try a different one. Would anyone have a look at this site and see what would be a good one to try.

Much appreciated**

Didn't see anything about ordering protein on that site, but I like the Designer Whey in Strawberry. It tastes good & not high in carbs or calories!

I like plain (no flavor) Optimum Nutritions egg, whey or soy protien. That way I can add any flavor I want to it. I also use it in my oatmeal.

Lady C what would you add to it.

P.S. Some proteins are so dear. It would be good if you could try smaller tubs to see if you like it first.

Has anyone tried Pro-MS from Chemical Nutrition?

All kinds of stuff. Frozen fruit (peaches, strawberries, other berries, etc) fresh bananas, sugar-free torani syrups, sugar-free fat-free jello pudding, sugar-free international coffee, coca powder, natural peanut butter, or even a graham cracker.

All sounds good but I don't know where you get these kind of foods in the UK. I don't think I come across them in the supermarket... `sugar-free torani syrups, sugar-free fat-free jello pudding`

You don't have fruit, jello & peanut butter in the UK?

I'm sure you must be kidding ...

You don't need the Torani syrup (although I'm sure they have an alternative where you are).

Jell-o is a tradename for a gelatin dessert usually with the flavor and color of fruit (which really means colored & flavored sugar gelatin). Sugar-free means a sugar substitute is used to sweeten it. Pudding means it thickens and flavors it.

No sorry still don't think we have jell-o over here but if any members from the UK can enlighten me that would be great...
